I have been everywhere the grass is green, i have seen all there is to see

I have been everywhere the grass is green
I have seen all there is to see
And though they tried to change my mind
To show me all the happiness of life
I could not see what i might have been or was meant to be

I'd love to believe there was something for me
Where we could just live like living could be

I have been everywhere the rainbow ends
I have heard every word as it is said and said again
And though they tried to give me sight
All i have seen is artificial light
Fluorescent glow, in a lip-synched show with soft eyes

I want to be everywhere the grass is green
I want to see all there is to see
Take my wife across the sea
Smile at everyone we meet
And try to be, try to be constantly
